Connecticut's Veterans, Town By Town

More than 228,000 veterans lived in Connecticut in 2012, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Of them, about 34 percent were Vietnam-era veterans, and 13.6 percent -- about 31,000 -- were World War II veterans. Korean War veterans account for about the same amount -- 13.8 percent -- as World War II veterans.

Connecticut's veterans are largely college-educated -- more than 30 percent have at least a bachelor's degree, and another 29 percent have at least some college or an associate's degree to their credit.

Some 28 percent of them are at least 75 years old, according to census estimates.

Our veterans live in towns across the state, although Gulf War veterans have greater concentrations in southeastern Connecticut.
